( ! )

So I found out late on Friday, that there was a mixup in HR as to when I was starting. Originally they were told the 29th, but on my offer letter I said the 26th. So they weren’t ready for me to start yet. I might start tomorrow or Weds, but maybe not till Thurs. Which is completely fine by me, as I have plenty of other shit to do to in the meantime. This weekend, I caught up on some sleep Saturday, but then completely lost it again Saturday night. I hopefully made up for it today, and will be on track for a “normal” schedule this week. I finished building all the new furniture with the exception of a shelf that I need to get more anchors for today. I also need to swap out Steph’s two shelves with the new one’s. There are still a ton of books on the floor in here, but they should be put away fairly soon. I have to move all of my shit from the old drawers into the new one’s, and that will pretty much be it. The new furniture looks awesome, and it really makes the room look bigger even though it takes up more real estate.

Yesterday I helped some friends move to their new apt. It went a lot quicker than we all expected, but I’m definitely a bit sore from going up and down 3 flights of stairs about 100 times. The cool thing is that they moved right around the corner from my new job, and Steph works around the corner as well, so hopefully we’l all get to hang out a lot more.

Today, I am going to pick up some shit from ho depot, and try to finish up in the office. Hope you all had a great weekend.

goonie goo goo!

I had a decent weekend. Did some admin stuff, both business and for stv. Did some yard work yesterday. And I found someone to take the ferrets! Unless something happens, she’s picking them up on Saturday. That’s about all I guess.

Oh yeah,.. I love you Steph!

worlock is: a monkeya monkey

Another Monday morning….
I had a decent weekend. I took Friday off because of the bullshit I had to put up with last weekend, getting called 50 million times. My dipshit bosses decided that I had to use my own time off for this since “I get paid for being on call – not on call pay and a day off” Whatever! If I had the patience to fight it I would, but it’s like talking to a brick wall, since my manager makes no decisions oin her own, and is afraid to speak up about things. So I took the day anyway, because I needed the time.

I spent Friday doing stuffs in the yard, since I finally have a patio, and grass again. It’s nice, I can’t wait till I can afford to buy some more stuff back there. Friday night I did some site work, and fixed a few scripts.

Saturday, I did some more stuff outside, and I don’t really remember what else. Yesterday since I was actually caught up on serve-you.net, I decided to try and finish up dollar25 radio. I got a lot done, but I have a bunch more to do still. I am trying to do a cd store, and it takes forever entering all the shit into my table. Once I actually get a good number of em done, then I’ll break it up into alphabetical pages, and it will be posted. Last night we went back to Columbia, to visit Steph’s dad, and have some dinner. It was nice getting to see him, we never seem to have the time to make the trip up, even though it’s only about an hour away. It’s actually really close to my work, but I’d hafta drive back down to VA to pick Steph up then come all the way back, which is why we never go during the week.

Anyhow, I must get back to work, because there’s a shitload of cases waiting from Friday (go figure).

I woke up at 9 today, oops! The landscaping people were out back using a power tamper in the pit they dug. I took off, and made it to work in about 35 minutes. I miss that commute. It’s so much less stressful, and I don’t get to work already pissed off at the world. Looks like a job lead I had is dead. The search continues.

I had a pretty good weekend. I got a shitload of work done on the site, even got that form working (though I still have to add a few functions to it). Just a few minor adjustments to make and the site should be ready to go live later on today. Unfortunately, that is about all I did this weekend. There’s a ton of stuff I need to do around the house. You’d think that since Steph is home all day now that she’d have more free time to get stuff done. This is so not the case! I’m sure she’ll have a lot more time starting this week, since my slave drivin ass (as she put’s it) won’t be making her work on my site in her free time. I am waiting to here from the landscaper’s today, to find out when they are gonna be able to come out and finish the patio job. I decided to just let them do the whole thing, since the price it would cost me to have them just do the excavation, and hauling, was over half the cost to finish it off including materials. I can’t wait to have it done so we can get the rest of the backyard lookin good. China is killing all the grass out there from peeing on it. I need to figure out if theres something to help avoid it. I dont remember my grass being dead when I had dog’s before.

I’ll be takin a 3 day weekend, cuz Monday is my birfday. I don’t really care much bout my birfday, but I wont work on it. Finally got around to makin some callz yesterday. I’m goin to the acura dealer tonight to get them to fix my fuckin fog lightz finally. Then tomorrow I go to royal auto glass to replace my windsheild AGAIN. Hopefully I can get them to do it for free, cuz in July when they did it, They did not do a very good job. And I’m pretty sure this crack did not come from a rock chip, cuz it’s in a really odd place like right under a wiper blade, and I can’t feel the chip from the outside. I also talked to a landscaping company about coming out to finish digging out and leveling my backyard, so I can finish the patio.

Go look bitchez!

Okay, I know I am a slack ass, and havent written an entry in a long time. This is important though. Everyone go read this now!

Now, about me…
I have been busy as all hell lately. I am very happy that the holidays are over, since they take up way too much time and money. We are still waiting for the T1, I am waiting on a status update as we speak. We have been doing tonz of stuff on the servers in the downtime. Steph has been doing a major overhaul of all of the galleries again. I have been working on some scripts and other behind the scenes stuffz. Aside from that it’s been all about home depot. I am there at least once a week! I have done all kindsa stuff to the house, and I’m lovin it.

Well,.. I’m back at work today. I now need a vacation from my vacation, since I got no rest the entire time. Luckily I only have today and tomorrow, then the four day weekend. Too bad I’m on call all week though. So far everything is great at the house, still have a few things that need to get done, but we are mostly unpacked, and I got a lot of the projects I wanted to get done, done. Now, I’m just waitin for my DSL to get setup, so I can move the servers home.

Okay, so I know I haven’t written anything in a while, I’ve been busy. My vacation officially started today YAY! Yesterday we had our final walk-thru in the house. Surprisingly, there were only a few minor things that needed done. Like touch up some paint here or there. If my damn mortgage processor actually gets off her ass and gets things done today, we should be all set for closing on Wednesday. It will be a busy vacation for me, I am going to get boxes today. We haven’t started packing at all. Steph has done a little organizing, but no real packing. The movers are scheduled to be here Friday morning sometime between 8 & 10. Before then, I need to move my fish which I am not looking forward to. Not only will the fish be incredibly stressed from being bagged for at least an hour, but it is going to be hard to salvage much water. 55 Gallons is a lot of water! I’ll be lucky if I can save more than a few gallons. Which means I will hafta add at least 10 gallons of water to the tank as right away, and fish really don’t like that. Well, gotta get this day started.

Believe it or not, I actually don’t have anything to rant about today. Need to find out a real date for when we close on the house. I already setup the phone, and electricity, still gotta do gas. Based on my cross streets, covad says I “should” be able to get dsl there. Ima fill out the pre-qual forms today. Once I get a reasl date, I can actually arrange for the movers and kick my butt into gear and start packing and shit.
